I've been trying to study about Hera, Her realms and Her sacred things, and I'm getting a lot of weird stuff into the mix.
Some of it I knew already, such as Her being a Goddess of marriage and women, but some also add protection of pregnant women, royalty, and other things I'm forgetting. The well-known symbols of Her are the peacock, crown, and cuckoo, but I'm also finding cows, crows, lilies, lotuses, white roses, baths, pomegranates, and all kinds of weird stuff.
Can someone please clarify this for me? I understand that stories have changes over time, but I'm looking for what things are actually associated with Her.
